Vlog 1

Hello to all my dearest readers! Here's my surprise. Hahaha! Please do forgive me for having too many pauses, "yah", "ahh", "hmm", hand gestures, head movements (blame the bangs... or just me! Haha!), and so on and so forth. Sorry guys! It's my very first time to do video blogging so excuse me! I was really nervous when I was doing this. Hehehe. Anyway, again, I am reiterating that I did this vlog for you, my dear reader. I just somehow want to reach you through a video... me, talking.. you, hearing my voice. I hope that I made you smile! Hahaha! So guys, what do you think of me doing this video blogging? Should I make another one? Hihi. Tell me through commenting below! I'd love to hear a word from you, dears!!

P.S. Up next, my outfit post! Stay tuned, loves!

I'm Gonna Miss You

Hello, dearest readers! I am finally back. Hah! I am functioning again. Thank you, God!! Nothing will ever happen if I just sit back and relax. I should make a move because I love my dearest readers!! Yes, I super love you, dear reader!

Wrangler DIY Fringe Top | Sicko Jeans | Mango Belt

Guess Bag | Cousin's Socks | Bayo Brogues

Fossil Watch

Aldo Accessories

So, this was my outfit last Saturday. I opted for an edgy look that very day; hence, the outfit. The top was actually a shirt before. Since I found the shirt quite boring to put on, I made some fringes on the sleeves. And hey, I think that was really a good idea! Right? So, guys, don't ever be afraid of risking chances. Move to a greater level and express yourself too!! I added some colors on to the look for a playful vibe, that is, to make it more interesting.

I know you are all wondering what on earth am I going through since all of my tweets are kind of (or totally) depressing. Honestly, there's something going on between us. And it's so hard. Really hard. We're cooling off in the meantime. But, somehow, I am getting better now after all my cries... and that I know that he still do love me so so so much like what I am feeling towards him. It's good that we got to talk about our current status lately. Now, I can somewhat breathe.

So here's our last day "together" as lovers. I know looking at these pictures below makes me kind of sad. I just miss "him" and the "us". I won't elaborate more on what I am feeling. Hehehe. I don't want to get my tears from falling all over again!!

Cute eh? Hihi. Kinikilig pa rin ako!! I know that we can go through these challenges. Maybe, God really wanted this to happen so as to make ourselves the better persons we ought to be. Time will only tell if we are meant to be. And when that moment comes, I would be the happiest person on earth then!! Guys, I just have one more wish before I end this post. Dear readers, please pray for me... and for "us". You know lately, I was planning of stopping this blog since I don't know where will I get inspiration from. But then again, I came to think about you guys... what about my dearest readers who are expecting a lot from me?! So yeah, here I am making a new post. Telling the world that no matter how depressed I am, I'm still here standing with my head held high. I am inspired writing because of your non-stop support, my dears! Please do continue showering your love on my humble blog cause you guys are making me happy everytime you comment on my posts. Thank you guys! I love you, dearest readers!!

I am leaving you guys with a quotation:

 Shout-out to Ana Bacalla! Hahaha! Thank you for this! Visit her blog too!!

First and foremost, I want to greet you all a Happy New Year! Dear readers, sorry for not being able to fulfill what I said on my last post. I don't know what will I post last night. So sorry, guys!!

Anyway, do you know, the lucky colors for this year, 2012, are green and yellow? And I know you noticed what I was wearing in the photos! There were shades of green and yellow, right?! Hee! My look was somewhat simple. I just did accessorizing to add an "oomph"! And oh, observe my hair! I did change my hairdo right before welcoming 2012. I had my side bangs again (thank you!) and... my hair highlighted (for the very first time)! Actually, I really wanted the highlights to be red (in a darker shade) but afterwards I was surprised with the color - Golden Brown (I think!). They didn't ask me what color I want; nevertheless, I love the outcome!! Sadly, the photos didn't give justice to my hair. :( I need to take pictures outside while the sun's out so you can clearly see my hair! Teehee!

Here is another year for us to spend. Let us live the most out of it - live like it's the end of the world. Thank you God for this another year! May you always be with us throughout like what you did the past years. :) Thank you, dearest readers, for welcoming me wholeheartedly in the blogosphere even if I am just a newbie still. Thank you for making me smile with your heartwarming comments on my humble blog! You guys are the best-est! :D I am beyond happy and grateful having such wonderful readers!! Again thank you and Happy New Year! I love you all!!!

Not That Sensible

Hello to all my beautiful readers! I just want to greet all of you a Happy New Year. Don't ever let yourself feel down or whatsoever. Don't let those bad vibes get into you! This is the time to really be happy - a time to celebrate. I am doing an advance posting because I ain't sure if I can write something later since I will be busy... eating. Hahahahaha! Okay, just kidding! I will definitely try making a blog post again later - a more sensible one! Hah!

So here are my faces again but with a new look! Hee. Sadly, the "change" thingy wasn't captured by my webcam... just the bangs! Oh well. I won't be bursting it out yet. Hahaha! I know you would love it as much as I do! Have you listed your resolutions already? I honestly haven't yet.

Bye for now, dear readers! See you all later!!! Thank you for the time reading this not-that-sensible blog post. Hehehe.

P.S. Thank you guys for always pouring some love on my humble blog! Hugs and kisses to you, dear reader! <3 I love you. :)

Someone Like You

I really had enjoyed the date with Aaron yesterday. We didn't waste every second of it. Alam mo yung feeling na parang ang tagal niyong hindi nagkita? That was exactly what I was feeling. No words could clearly explain how happy I am.

Now, on to my outfit:

Mango Floral Polo | White Sleeveless Top | Zara Shorts

Aldo Bag

Warehouse Necklace

Bershka Sandals

 I decided to be in a laid-back-yet-chic style. I was actually be wearing wedges but I changed my mind and opted to wear these stylish sandals from Bershka. Did you notice that this Warehouse necklace is just my accessory? Haha! Well, I aimed to be simple as possible (that's why!).

Java Chip | S'mores | Caramel

We ate at Starbucks again. SB addicts, eh? (SB Planner, we're gonna get you!!!) Hahaha! Mine's the Java Chip (as always!) and the Caramel for him. Annnnnd we ordered S'mores! Hihi. Loved it! The eating session doesn't end here actually.

My Java Chip | Texas Chicken BBQ Wrap

Hungry kiddos! You betcha! ;) Well, this is just a libre from him. It's a thanksgiving gift to me for doing his homework (spoiled boyfriend) and para daw may kainin ako pag umalis na sya (he got class at 2 PM). I am so touched when he bought this for me. Hihi. Kilig ako, teh! I can feel my hair!!! Hahahahaha! This Texas Chicken BBQ Wrap is the best! I mean, I love how the ingredients collide. Very tasty. Okay, I'll shut my mouth now. Sorry for making you guys hungry! Hihi. Forgive me! :)

Someone Like You By Sarah Dessen

Read this book while waiting for him at SB. I wasn't able to finish it yet though. I think I was not really in the mood reading such yesterday! I don't know why. :(

So I will end my post here! How was your weekend, dears? :)

Greatest Inspiration

Zara Floral Top | Aldo Layered Necklace

Sayang, blurd!

Zara Shorts

Naturalizer Bag | Aldo accessories

Bass Shoes | Cousin's Socks

I was so inspired to dress up for a short date lately. Teehee! This outfit is one of my favorites! I really do feel my shoes. I love the design. So vintage-y! I just hate that these photos didn't give much justice to these babies! I wish you could be able to see them in person. :)

Had Starbucks again awhile ago just to be able to collect the stickers and to have some relaxing coffee for the two of us. I ordered Toffee Nut Latte (cold), Caramel Frappe (for him!), and Cinnamon Swirl (my fave!). Yuuuum! We can't get enough of SB, seriously. Will try S'mores next time!

I really am happy when I am with him. I feel I always have a shield around ready to protect me from any danger. I am obviously happy and contented with him. He is my happiness. :D Thank you God for him. I am so blessed!

What do you think of my outfit, dearest readers? :)

 

Gratitude

Zara Top | Jellybean Tutu Skirt | Girl Shoppe Paris Necklace | Aldo Colorful Stacked Necklaces

I am not an expert fashion blogger (or whatever you call it). I am just as ordinary as you are... reaching out the stars in the sky and doing a move to aim them. Maybe, at this moment you're wondering what's the "drama" all about. I am just overwhelmed of the comments/reactions I am receiving from you, my lovely readers. I am always stunned whenever I get comments (seriously!). And not just comments, but positive comments about my outfit for the day and my blog! You don't know how you make me feel happy everyday. It's like I am literally floating in the air!

Yes, this is a thank you post for you guys. Thank you for making a little time to read my humble blog. I am very grateful! Very much grateful! I hope I get to make you smile for making this post. :)

Guys, I will see to it that I update posts from time to time and make them improve more. I hope you all will be with me throughout! <3

Thank you is not enough to express how I really feel!

P.S. Watch out for my next blog posts!!! :)

I love you, dearest readers!

xoxo,
